suppose being my wife does give you a few privileges, Mrs. Sterling, he mused.
She bent and kissed him softly.  I ll be very gentle with you, she whispered, teasing, but he pulled her

mouth down hard, and the kiss he gave her was anything but humorous.
It was the most incredible experience of her life. He lay sprawled on the mattress like a sacrificial
victim, letting her make new discoveries about his body and its responses. Letting her touch and taste
and stroke him, until he groaned aloud, until his big body trembled. And all through it he smiled and
laughed, and his eyes blazed like blue coals while he watched her, guided her, whispered and coaxed
and gloried in her fascination, the laziness of his smile at variance with the tension that built to explosive
force in him.
When he was just seconds away from losing his mind, he ended the torment himself, whipping her over
and crushing her under him, dragging her down with him into a maelstrom unlike anything he d ever
experienced before. It took him a long time to be able to move without shuddering, to speak. Her own
plateau had been nearly as high, and she trembled gently in the aftermath.
She smoothed his hair, kissed his flushed face, stroked his chest and arms until he calmed.
 My God, he breathed, opening his eyes at last, and they were filled with wonder as they searched her
face.
 I can t believe I really did all that, she said flushing. Her eyes fell to his mouth.  I d never even read
about some of those things.
 It s called instinct, he managed.  When it s coupled with love, it goes a long way. I ve never climbed
that high before, he added with a slow smile.  I m having trouble coming back down again, as you
see.
She blushed again and slid down against his body, holding him.  Does this help?
He caught her hips and moved them against his.  This helps more. He eased himself over her body and
smiled at the shock in her eyes.  Yes, I know. He laughed.  The books say this is impossible, don t
they? Lie still. This time, he breathed as his mouth opened over hers,  is going to blow your mind...
She could hardly stand in the shower later while he soaped her body under the warm spray. She clung to
him weakly, and he laughed.
 Worn out already? he teased.  You ll have to take vitamins.
 You re marvelous, she whispered at his lips.  Worth waiting all my life for.
 I could return that compliment, he murmured, smiling as he kissed her.  No lingering doubts? No
second thoughts?
She shook her head, and her eyes adored him.  I ll take care of you all my life. I ll be the best wife you
could ever want

  You already are, he said. He held her against him warmly, without passion, his head bent over hers.
 It won t be easy sometimes. We won t have a lot at first. But I ll work hard to give you the best life I
can. And even if we don t have money, Priss, we ll have love. Of the two, that s the more important.
He kissed her forehead.  I ll spend the rest of my life making up to you those five years we lost
 I ll do the same for you, she promised.  Darling, darling, I can hardly believe it s happened! It s like
a sweet dream. I d rather die than wake up and find it isn t real at all. Tears stung her eyes.  I ve lived
on dreams for so long...
 So have I, he whispered, nuzzling his face against her damp hair as he held her.  But we have each
other now. Forever, Priss.
She kissed his chest affectionately.  Later on, I ll give you a son.
He trembled a little. His hands contracted.  How much later on? he whispered.
She looked up at him quietly.  Whenever you like.
He was breathing unsteadily.  I m thirty-three already.
 Then...we d better not wait...too long, she whispered at his lips.  A few months no more, he
whispered back.
 I d like a baby. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
